Answer 1

$\huge\bold\red{GIVEN:-}$

the length of the tangent to a circle which is 13 cm.

distance from the centre of the circle is 12 cm.

radius =?

$\huge\bold\orange{ANSWER:-}$

IN ΔABC.

AC²=AB²+BC²....(by using Pythagoras theorem )

13²=12²+BC²

BC²=169-144

BC²=25

BC =√25

.•. BC=5cm.

hence,

radius of the circle =5cm
